AP EAPCET 2026 Counselling — BiPC Third and Final Phase Dates

Who this guide is for

Use this page if you:

• BiPC candidates taking part in the Third and Final Phase (24–30 October 2026)
• MPC and BiPC candidates checking their allotment and joining status on CAP
• Students who missed a round and want to know which windows have closed
• Students and parents completing self-reporting and college joining on CAP

Use a different route if you:

• Candidates seeking BA / B.Com / B.Sc degree seats without EAPCET — use AP OAMDC counselling instead
• Diploma holders targeting lateral-entry B.Tech — follow AP ECET, not EAPCET first-year counselling
• Anyone asked to pay an agent for a “guaranteed college” — allotment is only through CAP login

Quick Overview 2026

Important Dates 2026

Eligibility Criteria

Counselling needs a valid AP EAPCET 2026 rank in the Engineering or Agriculture & Pharmacy qualified list, plus Intermediate (10+2) group rules for the course (typically PCM for Engineering; PCB/PCM as notified for Pharmacy & Agriculture). Qualifying marks, reserved-category relaxations, and AP local / non-local rules follow APSCHE / CAP notices — reconfirm on the portal before you pay.

• A valid AP EAPCET 2026 rank in the relevant stream is required for counselling.
• Engineering courses generally require the MPC group; Agriculture and Pharmacy courses follow their notified subject requirements.
• Reservation, local-area and category rules apply as notified by APSCHE/CAP.
• Use the official stream-specific instructions for final eligibility and document requirements.

Seat Allotment — How Merit Works

• Allotment depends on rank, reservation/category rules, local-area status and the order of web options.
• Enter options in your true preference order.
• MPC and BiPC have separate counselling calendars and allotment dates.
• Complete self-reporting and college reporting within the official deadline.

AP EAPCET vs AP OAMDC

After Seat Allotment — Reporting Checklist

1. Download your allotment order from CAP login (MPC Third & Final Phase allotments were released on 22 Sep 2026).
2. Complete online self-reporting if the allotment screen requires it.
3. Report to the allotted college within the deadline shown on CAP (BiPC Third and Final Phase: 28–30 October 2026).
4. Keep your joining report / acknowledgement — you may need it for fee reimbursement.
5. Carry originals from the official document checklist.
6. Use only official CAP and college payment channels.

Mistakes to avoid

• Mixing MPC and BiPC registration / web-options windows on CAP
• Missing the short BiPC Third and Final Phase windows — registration and option entry close on 25 October 2026
• Skipping self-joining / college reporting after allotment
• Uploading unclear certificates and missing HLC verification
• Paying agents instead of the CAP fee gateway
• Confusing EAPCET with OAMDC or ECET
